A new research has revealed that a single dose of antidepressant produces dramatic changes in the functional architecture of the human brain.

The researchers from Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences said that brain scans taken of people before and after an acute dose of a commonly prescribed SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitor) reveal changes in connectivity within three hours.
